The law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom is weighing its real estate options ahead of the Feb. 28 expiration of its 62,000-square-foot lease at One Beacon St. in Boston.

To date, no decision has been made as to whether the firm intends to stay put or search for a possible new local headquarters, according to a firm spokesperson.

Skadden’s apparent lack of urgency with just six months before its lease expiration contrasts with many of Boston’s other large tenants who have pounced at the favorable rents and valuable perks being dangled by landlords desperate to boost — albeit maintain — occupancy rates. Among the local firms to lock up long-term leases well ahead of scheduled lease expirations include the law firm Holland & Knight, Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade and Douglas, Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates and Genzyme Corp. All of those deals were first reported by the Boston Business Journal.

Skadden employs roughly 50 lawyers in Massachusetts and more than 1,900 throughout its network of U.S. and international offices. The firm is headquartered in New York.
